This year's program will launch on April 22, at the Samsung Experience in New York City with a press conference and special performance by Jordan Pruitt, whose new album from Hollywood Records will be released this July. Students, teachers and parents from previous winning schools located in the New York Tri-State Area will be invited to attend, enjoy the event and performance.

"We are thrilled to have Jordan Pruitt join the Hope for Education program and Samsung family," said D.J. Oh, president and CEO, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. "She is a role model for young students across the U.S. who Samsung wants to reach and have participate.
